The Ex Files: A Comedy True Crime Tour

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Comedian Matt Bell returns to the streets of Melbourne with his hilarious and scandalous new comedy true crime walking tour.

Melbourne has a dark secret. A crime has been committed – and comedian Matt Bell knows where the bodies are buried.

Join Matt as he unravels one of the city’s most shocking true* crimes – a tale of desire, obsession and gay dating gone horribly wrong.

How does he know all this? The killer left one loose end...

*If asked by a lawyer, definitely not true.

Please note: This tour involves approximately 1.5km of walking throughout the evening. Please wear comfortable shoes.
